If you think poor people deserve less when you're in a position to give more, then yes, you are the bad guys.

If the US can seize a Venezuelan tanker carrying sanctioned oil, then can other tankers in other places, say the Baltic or the Black Sea, also be seized?

Musk talking about fighting falsehoods on his platform. One hour before he'd amplified a falsehood to millions of people. Nobody died in that incident, caused by a drunk driver. No community note, no correction.

For the first time, the Kennedy Center Awards were presented in the tiny Oval Office instead of the Kennedy Center For Performing Arts. Donald used his now-vulgar Oval Office for the ceremony to avoid the embarrassment of TV audiences seeing an almost empty theater.

And the world (or the one time leader of the free world) is in negotiations with the war criminal in Moscow whose answer to peace talks (if that is what is being talked about and not business) is to threaten the rest of Europe with war.

In Nuremberg in 1945, the Americans established the principle that "just following orders" is no excuse for crime. The six members of Congress are right to remind us of that today
loading . . .
The Duty to Disobey Unlawful Orders Was America’s Idea
“Stauffenberg pointed the way: if your obedience requires you to do criminal, unhuman things, you are no longer bound by your oath. A soldier’s final benchmark must always, in the last instance, be his conscience, not his orders.” That’s what Jan Techau, a friend of mine with a special vantage on this matter (more about Stauffenberg in a minute), told me when I asked him what he thought about a controversy now raging in the United States.

The Trump apologist checklist after Trump or his administration does something awful: 1. Fake news, it didn’t happen. 2. It might’ve happened, but it would be OK if it happened. 3. So it happened, so what. 4. Whatabout [insert names of various presidents here]
